The flag of French Polynesia is the state flag of the French
overseas collectivity French Polynesia. It was adopted in 1984. Two red
horizontal bands encase a wide white band in a 1:2:1 ratio; centered on the
white band is a disk with a blue and white wave pattern depicting the sea on
the lower half and a gold and white ray pattern depicting the sun on the upper
half; a Polynesian canoe rides on the wave pattern; the canoe has a crew of
five represented by five stars that symbolize the five island groups; red and
white are traditional Polynesian colors.
All vessels registered in French Polynesia have to fly the
French flag, even for the small ships sailing between the islands, as there is
no official French Polynesian civil or state ensign.
